New Modular-Style Format
Each chapter is made up of a series of short, self-contained, thematically related "Topics"
- Each chapter opens with a brief summary of its Topics.
- Each Topic begins with three questions: "Why do you need to know this material?", "What is the key idea?", and "What do you need to know already?"
- Instructors can cover the Topics of their choosing in the order they prefer.
The Chemist’s Toolkit
Throughout the text, this new feature offers quick, immediate help for students encountering a difficult concept from mathematics or physics.
QR Codes
Scanning these codes with a smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device connects students to online resources on physical chemistry applications and research relevant to the topic they are studying.
More Worked Examples and Brief Illustrations
Step-by-step Worked Examples with self-tests help students organize their approach to complex calculations. Brief Illustrations give students a quick straightforward lesson in how to use an equation or deploy a concept.
